Whereas carbonate-siliceous cycles in deep-water sediments, just above the calcite compensation depth, primarily reflect glacial-interglacial differences in carbonate preservation, our results suggest that the pattern of glacial-interglacial sedimentation in shallower cores, near the lysocline, primarily reflects productivity changes in near-surface waters.The record of preservation indicates that the depth of the lysocline in the eastern equatorial Pacific has remained approximately stationary during the past 370,000 yr.
